This typeface is a bold, high-contrast serif with crisp wedge-like serifs and flared stroke endings that widen into sharp, triangular terminals. The rhythm is driven by thick verticals and hairline-thin connecting strokes, producing a distinctly sculpted, calligraphic feel despite its upright posture. Uppercase forms are compact and weighty with strong triangular serifs, while lowercase shows prominent ball terminals and pronounced entry/exit strokes (notably on a, c, f, r, and s). Counters are relatively tight and internal spaces are pinched by contrast, giving the letters a dense, display-oriented texture.
It performs best in large sizes where the hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated—editorial headlines, cover lines, posters, and high-impact branding. It also suits luxury packaging and title treatments where a dense, high-contrast typographic voice is desired, but it may feel heavy and busy in small body text due to its tight counters and fine connecting strokes.
The overall tone is refined and assertive, combining a classic editorial sensibility with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp serifs, glossy contrast, and compact proportions convey seriousness and prestige, while the lively terminals add a hint of flamboyance and theatricality.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that merges classical letterform structure with flared, wedge-like finishing for maximum contrast and presence. Its compact, ink-rich silhouettes and energetic terminals suggest a focus on display typography for sophisticated, attention-grabbing compositions.
The sample text shows a dark, emphatic color on the page, with tight interior counters and delicate hairlines that are most apparent in diagonals and joins. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, reading as elegant and formal, and the capital Q’s sweeping tail stands out as a distinctive branding detail.
